Sydney to Hobart yacht race

   At 0830 hrs today always skippers gathered for the pre-race briefing and a weather report of 10 knot ESE for the race start.
   As usual the media are predicting the fastest time record will be broken ... their favourite is "Comanchie".
   For the frugal Mirror dinghy cruiser this race represents greed and the gaudiness of extreme wealth which should never be counternanced. My hope is that next year my TINK with pirate flag aloft will be among the spectator craft firing whitty barbs at all the Fat Cats and striking a blow for modesty and class.
